When my father suggested once that I wasn't amounting to much I said, "But I've solved the problem of evil," and he said, "Well, that's never been much of a problem for me, Chuck."
I thought for a time that the challenge to the givenness of the good in an initial creation had happened. I was taken in by the economy with which the scenario bridges the gap between a holy creator and the human condition, and this elegance is magnified by the fact that the very inexorability of the drama denecessitates it, and it is not another creation but the mere story that bridges the gap.
